The 8 Easiest Languages for English Speakers to Learn

On an increasingly international planet, multilingualism is fast becoming a desired trait in employees, meaning today's college students enjoy an advantage if their degree plans require a second (or even third!) language. English speakers in America particularly find this possibility challenging, as far too many schools downplay the importance of learning to speak something additional. Fortunately, those who feel as if the system failed them in this regard can still pick up a foreign language relatively quickly. The following, ranked as Category I by the Foreign Service Institute but listed in no particular order, offer up comparatively easy starting points. Starting points which might very well prove useful for more than touristic reasons!

Words can be tricky things, often spelled quite differently than how they sound, coming from foreign languages with different sets of rules, or being just plain weird. It's no wonder then that so many people struggle with spelling, even those who are generally regarded as having some seriously brilliant minds. No, it's not just grade-schoolers, college students, and the everyday man who struggles with the age old "i before e" dilemma, but also scientists, writers, and world leaders. Here, you'll find a list of great thinkers who made great strides in their respective fields, but never could quite conquer the perils of spelling.

The 10 Most Notoriously Difficult Languages to Learn
2 / 0

Labeling a language "difficult" carries with it both a high degree of subjectivity as well as some rather unfortunate implications regarding cultural relativity and suppression. In truth, everything hinges on how much time and effort a student puts into her or his language acquisition — not to mention the relation (or, as it were, lack thereof) between their mother tongue and the newcomer in many cases. They’re all equally hard if slacking is the name of the game and equally easy if one possesses enough tenacity, so try not to take this list as anything even one iota formal or definitive.
